Instruction Manual

Precautions and advice

 Whenever cleaning or defrosting remove the power plug

or switch off the main fuse.

 After closing the freezer door, do not open it immediately

and do not force it open under any circumstances. The

vacuum created by the sealing of the door is dispersed

after about 1-2 minutes, so that the door can be opened

normally again.

 To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow cooked

food to cool down to room temperature before closing the

lid of the dish and before storage.

 Leave the freezer door ope

wasting energy and to prevent and excessive amount of ice

forming in the freezer.

n as briefly as possible to avoid

 Never use a screwdriver or any other sharp edged metal

tool to remove the layers of ice. The inside walls are very

delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp edges. Use

only plastic or wooden scrapers with no sharp edges

9. Cleaning and maintenance

As a firm rule, unplug the power plug or switch off at the

mains.

For the upkeep of the external appearance of your fridge /

freezer, clean the outside every now and again with furniture

poli

sh or with an enamel protecting product. Clean the door seal

with warm water now and again but do not use any cleaning

products.

Clean your appliance regularly.

 The various parts inside the fridge / freezer are generally

not suitable for dishwasher. These should be washed by

hand with warm water and a little washing up liquid. Never

use the cleaning agent neat and on no account use any

abrasive or acid, i.e. chemical cleaning agent is

recommended.

 The rating plate should not be damaged and should never

be removed , this is essential for servicing. Make sure

when cleaning, that no water runs onto any electrical

inside the appliance.

 If there is a heat exchanger, called condenser, on the back

of your appliance, this should be cleaned regularly. Dust

and dirt impede the release of heat from the inside and

considerably increase energy consumption. For best

results, use a soft brush or a duster to remove dust from

the condenser.
